And I gat an abrupt and horrid shaking of the spirit; for I did feel in verity that my soul had come too anigh; and that the Beast had a sure knowledge concerning me; yet did make to my destruction with no haste; but after that way and fashion that did seem proper unto it.
And I crept onward so speedy as I might, and the earth to seem alway as that it moved from my hands, and to slide; and this-seeming to be of my weakness; for my hands and my knees went everyway, and my head to be that it kept nodding forward very stupid to the earth. And lo! as I came anigh unto the Maid, where she did lie so quiet, I saw that something moved in the wood, and was running.

"You will keep a lookout, sir, with a lantern in the bows. If the natives annoy you, you know what to do. Always shoot natives. When you get anigh the island, you will fire a gun and sing out for the Captain." "Quite needless," interposed a voice from the sea. "The Captain is here!"

"I dunnot know," he faltered, and then, staggering again, caught at her dress with feeble hands "Dunnot yo'," he whispered, sinking forward "dunnot yo' let no one come anigh me." She flung a strong arm around him, and saved him from a heavy fall. His head dropped helplessly against her breast. "He's fainted dead away," she said: "he mun ha' been worse than he thowt fur."
